Manny Pacquiao vs Yuri Foreman News

Trainer Freddie Roach has confirmed that Manny Pacquiao may move up to 154-pounds to target the world title shot against undefeated WBA Champion Yuri Foreman. Fore and Pacquiao are both promoted by Top Rank. Roach, who will be in Amir Khan's corner this Saturday, told British press that Floyd Mayweather J.r doesn't want to fight Pacquiao in March, and Manny doesn't want to wait until May or June to fight again - likely due to a possible philippine election.

Mayweather doesn't want to fight in March, so we might fight for the 154 pound title in March and move up for that eight world title. I'm thinking about that still and it's something that I'm kicking around in my head right now - Roach said.

Yuri Foreman might be the oppponent. It is a possibility, and then Mayweather in September. If they guarantee me that, we'll do that, but I need more of a commitment from Mayweather because he's not negotiating too well. It has to happen, and with the money they are going to make out of it, I feel it will happen. Mayweather can't make that money with anybody else.

Manny Pacquiao will fight Yuri Foreman at 154-pounds Title to gain his 8 world title before he will fight Floyd Mayweather Jr.
